Episode 132: Arrival of a baby & The Incredibles

This one might seem like it's just for new parents but it's for all of us. There's no moment quite like a new baby. You're handed the most enormous responsibility of your life wrapped in a very small blanket. Using The Incredibles as our jumping-off point, we explore what a newborn actually needs from the people around them. Why responsiveness matters more than perfection, and what support really looks like when a family is finding its feet. If your kids are older and you find yourself looking back at those early days, wondering what you got right, what you'd do differently, or trying to make sense of a of what passed in a blur this one's for you too. Because understanding the beginning often helps you parent better right now. It also helps us understand our own childhood journey too which for some of us requires gentle care. We hope you enjoy it and please send in your reflections, questions and golden advice. Pop Culture Parenting is created by Guiding Growing Minds, a social
enterprise dedicated to changing the future of our kids.
